Bastion Supply & Logistics is a third-party logistics, freight-brokerage (FMCSA Broker of Property, USDOT #5796599), and supply-chain consulting firm at the Port of Los Angeles / Long Beach. We arrange drayage, transload coordination, and nationwide FTL/LTL through a vetted carrier network — and improve the operation behind it with Amazon-scale consulting, financial-operations discipline, and AI-driven analytics.
We move the freight — and improve the operation behind it. From the dock to the data, Bastion is built to make your logistics measurably better.
Freight arrangement and carrier management, dispatch and tendering, drayage, and door-to-door coordination across a vetted Southern California and nationwide network.
Network and route optimization, SOP build-out, KPI and scorecard design, cost-to-serve analysis, and operations diagnostics — the Amazon-scale operating playbook applied to your operation.
Cross-dock, port-adjacent transload, and short-term storage arranged through vetted partner facilities for containerized and break-bulk cargo, with inventory coordination.
Bulk fuel, hazmat, and refrigerated freight — local and long-haul — executed through vetted, compliant carrier partners.
Pricing, margin, cash, budget governance, and cost-model discipline — five years advising small businesses as a fractional CFO and growth consultant.
Opportunity intelligence, capability matching, requirements / compliance (RTM) matrices, and cost build-ups — technology that finds, qualifies, and prices the right work.
Every brokered load runs on our proprietary operating platform: instant quoting with transparent pass-through pricing, tokenized shipment tracking your team can open from any link, carrier vetting with hard compliance gates (FMCSA data, CA DLSE §2810.4, CARB drayage registry), and detention & demurrage invoice audit under 46 CFR 541.6 — with a named human approving every regulated decision.
